The Black Agriculture Summit 2010 invites innovative U.S. Agriculture leaders, community elders, students, educators and government officials to gather together to continue the  conversation towards implementation of a transparent and accountable Black Agriculture Action Agenda and to Save Black Farmers.

 

Today, collectively Black agriculture produces are less than 1% of all U.S. producers  and we have no National Action Agenda to feed ourselves.

 

We must expand efforts to "Restore Agriculture as the Foundation of Black Culture" if we want to positively impact our drain on the U.S. Gross Domestic Product, eliminate diet related disease destroying Black Families nationwide and restore our historic high culture work ethic, surpassing global standards of excellence.

 

Our Summit outcome, a National Black Agriculture Action Agenda will provide a cooperative model and nationwide framework toward a new paradigm of shared responsibility.

 

Together, we will continue the construction of a National Black Agriculture Action Agenda that engages community elders, students, educators and government officials by embracing First Lady's Michelle Obama "Let's Move" campaign to raise a healthier generation. Together we will building upon the growing partnerships of Healthy Solutions Group, in Washington D.C., Alabama, North Carolina, New York, and now California.

 

Black Agriculture Summit participants will discuss a wide range of issues impacting a broad view of Black Agriculture in the 21st Century including Wall Street Reform, Consumer Protection, Organic Produce Distribution, International Trade and Commerce, Green Technology, our Save Black Farmers Campaign, and our "Faith to Farm Initiative."

 

Our host venue is the Marriott Oakland City Center, 1001 Broadway, Oakland, California, July 15-18, 2010, in partnership with the Hand to Hand Marketing Black Expo, guidance of Dr. Annette Shelton, Expo Director & Special Projects Manager
